It's EMS Week wrap-up time, and Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson are back in classic form in this episode of the Inside EMS podcast. From jokes about Sloppy Joe leftovers from Hospital Week to heartfelt gratitude for the medics still grinding it out day after day, this episode hits all the notes. Chris and Kelly talk about why EMS Week still matters; more than just stickers and slogans, it's about recognizing the quiet pride, the commitment and the transformation that EMS professionals bring to their communities every single day. The hosts challenge listeners to advocate for the profession, share their stories, and — most importantly — support one another. Whether you're still running lights and sirens or mentoring the next generation, this one's for you. Memorable quotes “You may be in EMS if you finish a trauma report while chewing beef jerky at 3 a.m.” — Kelly Grayson  ”We need to treat EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers and supervisors with respect and do things for them 51 weeks of the year, and then take EMS Week off.” — Kelly Grayson “This isn't a flashy job, it's not always recognized ... but it's real. And it gets in your blood.” — Chris Cebollero “Keep on being the rumpled angels of healthcare.” — Kelly Grayson Enjoying the show?

Dr. Ted Lee looks at the impact and importance of Save a Life Day for EMS Week. Featuring expert guests Dr. Matt Levy and Corey Richter, the discussion underscores the critical role of community engagement in prehospital emergency medicine.   Both leaders share their extensive backgrounds in EMS and emphasize the necessity of equipping citizens with essential skills to respond effectively in emergencies, such as performing CPR, managing bleeding and advocating for blood donation initiatives.   They highlight that by fostering a proactive culture of preparedness, communities can significantly improve health outcomes and save lives.

In this episode of the JEMS Report, Dr. Ted Lee convenes a panel of pediatric emergency medicine experts to discuss the significance of EMS Week 2025 and the critical EMS for Children program. The panel, featuring Dr. Ann M. Dietrich, Dr. Kathleen Adelgais and Dr. Lindsay Jaeger, highlights the essential role of EMS professionals in providing pre-hospital care for pediatric patients, particularly in emergency situations. With less than 10% of EMS calls involving children, the discussion sheds light on the urgency of enhancing pediatric readiness within EMS agencies. The doctors emphasize the wealth of resources available through the Pediatric Readiness Project, designed to fortify preparation and education for emergency providers. This episode serves as a vital reminder of the commitment to better serve our youngest patients and the importance of collaboration in advancing pediatric emergency care.

They explore the vital intersection between emergency medicine and EMS as they kick off EMS Week, discussing its significance beyond mere appreciation gestures like pizza and cake.

They call for stronger advocacy to ensure EMS receives the recognition, funding and support it requires to thrive.  

Guest host Rob Lawrence joins Kelly Grayson to reflect on the recent EMS on the Hill Day. Rob offers a behind-the-scenes look at his experience leading the California delegation and provides insights into how EMS professionals can influence policy on issues like Medicare reimbursement, community paramedicine and workforce development.

In this episode of the Inside EMS Podcast, co-host Kelly Grayson is joined by international guest host Rob Lawrence for a candid and timely conversation on one of the most pressing issues in EMS today: fatigue and its impact on provider safety and wellness. The discussion begins with a heartbreaking story out of Georgia, where a nurse, after working consecutive night shifts, fell asleep at the wheel, leading to a fatal crash. It's a tragic reminder of the very real risks that come with long hours, disrupted sleep and chronic fatigue in healthcare—and EMS is no exception. Kelly and Rob reflect on their own experiences with sleep deprivation, shift work and the toll it takes on performance, decision-making and personal safety. They dive into the need for fatigue management policies, smarter shift scheduling, and how EMS leaders can — and must — prioritize provider health. Timeline 00:00 - 00:05: Rob introduces himself as the international correspondent for Inside EMS, stepping in for Chris Cebollero. 00:05 - 00:33: Kelly and Rob discuss the swap between Chris and Rob, along with their roles in the EMS community, providing context for the conversation. 00:33 - 03:10: Rob and Kelly discuss the tragic accident in Forsyth County, Georgia, where a nurse fell asleep behind the wheel after a night shift. They reflect on the broader issue of fatigue in healthcare professions. 03:10 - 07:01: Kelly shares his personal experience with fatigue, recounting instances of feeling like a "zombie" after long shifts and the dangers of working extended hours. 07:01 - 10:35: Rob and Kelly dive into the challenges of managing fatigue in EMS, the ongoing debate about shift lengths, and the need for policies to improve rest and working conditions. 10:35 - 12:23: The hosts discuss the importance of leadership in managing fatigue, with Rob emphasizing the need for downtime between shifts. 12:23 - 15:02: Kelly talks about his previous employer's fatigue mitigation policies and how they ensured safety through workload monitoring, proper shift lengths, and adequate pay. 15:02 - 18:00: Rob reflects on his work in California, including meetings with lawmakers to address EMS workforce issues during EMS Week. 18:00 - 23:07: The hosts discuss the systemic issues that contribute to fatigue, including poor wages, long shifts, and the overall working conditions in EMS.

Hathaway, president/CEO of Spirit EMS, in Greenville, Ohio, who offers a free EMT training program. Hathaway shares his perspective on how EMS education has changed, and the creative ways Spirit is attracting, engaging and retaining recruits – from 2-year agreements, to giving away a car during training. Together, they discuss: Why Hathaway is the Oprah Winfrey of EMT education How to engage and motivate the workforce What Hathaway is looking for when he evaluates student patient assessments How we deliver education to the newer generation Memorable quotes from this episode “As we educate in the classroom and make sure that people are comfortable and confident in their skills, and we're making sure that we're doing that good head-to-toe assessment on the patients – that that's the ultimate important thing.” “Memorizing 43 things on a skills sheet to make sure that we've touched everything is not necessarily applicable to every patient that we're taking care of.” “My concern is we've got to get people involved and we've got to continue to change with the times or it's going to be a competition when I'm in the nursing home 25-30 years from now as to who's going to get out of bed and respond to the call if we don't do something now.” Additional resources What skills should we test?

Educating the public about when it is appropriate to call EMS – and how quickly we should get there This episode of Inside EMS is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders. To learn more, visit lexipol.com. In this EMS Week episode of Inside EMS, Cohosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dive into where emergency care begins, and how community paramedicine launched a paradigm shift years in the making. They discuss how EMS did a fine job of educating the community about the obstacles and dangers of the job during COVID-19, but need to capitalize on and maintain that momentum moving forward. Memorable quotes from this episode: “Community paramedicine has everything to do with EMS week.” “Advocacy is what this is all about, and we as a profession have kind of fallen down on the job for quite a while on educating the public about the capabilities of EMS, and the obstacles and hardships that we face, and that's what EMS Week is all about.” “We need to leverage our advocacy and teach the real first responders, the public, about what's appropriate to call EMS for and what they can do to crowdsource that urgent care.” Chris and Kelly discuss: How emergency care begins at dispatch and nurse triage of 911 ET3 and the telehealth model Kelly's experience with treatment-in-place and alternate destinations Response time standards Enjoying the show?

No one is in Police, Fire, EMS or the Military for awards and commendations. We do it because it is what it is expected of us. Sure some recognition is nice, but when is it just too much?This week is EMS week and your pals at WYE stocked your local EMS break room with 4 LOCOs and pamphlets about other agencies hiring in the area. But really, what does a week of recognition mean? Awards? Medals? Lunch? Do they matter?This week the guys ask what is it really all about and why is it always Scott and Gary gunning for the big award this month/year/etc, and not the folks actually making a difference.While your hosts have their own accolades to hang on the wall, they discuss the importance of recognition but also the risk of over rewarding mediocrity.Then they're off for their own recognition, a 36-hour stint away from the families at the Strawberry Bluegrass Music Festival.This week we ponder:Why does Scott always seem to be getting awards and medals?Is it OK to avoid the recognition or should we lean into it?Have your hosts ever earned a medal?What is a Dadberry?Support the showJoin our Facebook Community!Buy us a beer!Email Us!

EMS Week has again rolled around for its 49th time.  Enacted by President Gerald Ford in 1974, we take time to pause, reflect and of course, thank those who are there for us in our worst hour.  The dedication and deep respect never goes unnoticed but is surely accentuated and loudly stated, during this week each year.   Take a moment to think about those who serve us and if you get the chance, say thanks.  Say thanks to them with your words, actions and legislation to support them.  This podcast reflects my deep appreciation for those who perform this challenging work that only few can do. To each who work in the trenches be it by air or ground, may you enjoy this week of thanks.  God Bless and hey, be safe out there.   Presented by:  Gary Harvat, EMT-P (ret.), CMTE
